📢 Thrilled to announce that I - and the lab - will shortly be joining @EP_UCL (@UCLPALS; we remain also part of @WCHN_UCL). It's been an exciting 12.5 yrs at @BirkbeckUoL and I'm looking forward to the next era!

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

@JamesHenryChard Thanks James, we can continue running studies and chatting science of course - need not be the end!

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

Many congratulations to the newly minted Dr @JamesHenryChard on passing your PhD viva with flying colours. Truly well deserved and a real pleasure to supervise. Thanks so much to @CarienvanReekum and @Silvia_Seghezzi for examining and joining us for the fun celebrations 🎉

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

@PeterKokNeuro Thanks Peter :-)

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

@danieljamesyon Thanks Daniel - that's very kind. Also blessed with some truly outstanding students, like yourself :-)

How does learning about the world's statistical structure optimise perception for future learning? If you're interested in this perception-learning cycle, & enjoy developing both theories & methods, apply! Pls repost/ask me qus🙏

@mkwittmann @ucl @pals @UCLBrainScience @EP_UCL Many congrats again Marco - super well deserved :-)

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

How do beliefs about visibility influence perceptual decisions? What does this mean for our models of perceptual detection? Here @mazormatan provides a new model. Great work Matan and @moran_rani 👇

[Matan Mazor @mazormatan]

How do we infer perceptual absences? Do beliefs about perception play a role in such inferences? And how does it all relate to cellist Natalia Gutman’s career decisions? Find answers in our new preprint with @moran_rani and @ClarePress:

Do you need another reason to sign up for #SAMBA2024? @ClarePress sharing her research on the interdependence of statistical learning and perception definitely ticks that box!

[Prof. Matthew Apps @brain_apps]

Looking forward to welcoming everyone to Birmingham today for the start of Control Processes 2024 @TheCHBH, @unibirmingham & @EdgbastonPark. Kicking off with a drinks reception out here in the sun, before @blamlab's keynote talk. Safe journey everyone! https://t.co/5gdxe2C35L

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

@brain_apps @salonikrishnan @TheCHBH @unibirmingham @EdgbastonPark @blamlab @CoolsControl @BadreLab @EgnerLab On my way too. Reassured that you got lost too Saloni - when I gave a talk last year I was an hour late for lunch, having got the wrong train from New Street. That's what you get for writing talks on the train (well, combined with stupidity ;-))

[Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social @ClarePress]

@postlelab @PeterKokNeuro @MillerLabMIT @JOCN_Journal @CogNeuroNews @emilyrthomas27 Ha, Peter contributed lots too of course. Highly valued collaborator, as always. But yes, mainly Emily's blood, sweat and tears (thanks Peter)

Predictions and errors are distinctly represented across V1 layers https://t.co/S7dgvnY460

[Earl K. Miller @MillerLabMIT]

Cool work showing that prediction errors are stronger in superficial layers of visual cortex.

Results are in line with Predictive Routing.

@action_brain Thanks, glad you liked it!

[UCL Experimental Psychology @EP_UCL]

For the next @UCL_EP seminar on 14/05, Prof @HeleenASlagter invites us to reconsider how attention is typically approached: rather than as a mere sensory filter but as a relational process that optimizes agent-environment interactions based on priors.
